More about LIZARDS MUST DIE
Players rate it 96 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 81 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 38 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written December 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 315 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 38 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 96 percent of the 18,978 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 81 percent of everything written about it.

What drives the score
Grades: S best, D weakest
S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
The story is rather disjointed since lizards and aliens are internet memes, and there are also other Russian memes included. While the graphics, combat feel, and animations aren't great, the nonsensical and humorous dubbing adds to the fun, and the levels aren't too difficult. So don't expect too much-just relax and have fun playing!
1 more review, not recommended
It's a game that you can only enjoy if you're the type of person that likes 'so bad it's good' style games. It's ugly, poorly translated, mechanically broken, and bounces between boring and frustrating.
